Green Day's Billie Joe on the mend after hospitalization

"Beyond devastated" about canceling show

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is "feeling better now" according to his wife, after reportedly suffering "gastric problems" so severe the 40-year-old was hospitalized and the band's show in Italy had to be nixed.

Adrienne Armstrong tweeted that husband and Green Day frontman Billie Joe was "feeling better" and thanked the band's fans for "all the love & well wishes."

Fellow bandmates Tré Cool and Mike Dirnt posted a video message, explaining that Armstrong was rushed to the hospital "due to illness" and that "doctors don't think it's a good idea for him to play today."

"We're beyond devastated," Tré Cool said. "We're as sad as you guys are. Billie's extremely upset about it, and we'll see you very soon."
